I've been divorced for 5 years now after an abusive relationship with my ex-wife, and I have the main custody of my 7 year old daughter.
About 3 years ago I noticed a new mum at my daughter's school (same year) and about 6 months later tried to chat to her. At the time she "had a boyfriend".
Now she has been single for about 2 years, having split from her abusive boyfriend, and due to various social interactions (school sports day, birthday parties, after-school activities) we have been chatting a few times over the last fortnight.
Now I'm not being a typical bloke here, just want to shag her, but I'd like to entertain the possibility of a sensible grown-up relationship where both parties are nice to each other.
Obviously there is more to both our histories than that; and maybe I'm making too much of a slightly positive situation, but if anyone can help me work with what I've got so far, please do.
I'm sure you'll all take the piss now so let's get that over with.
